The Stylish Traveler: Cute Clutter Busting Passport Wallets

Modern traveling may feel like a chore at times, but that doesn't give anyone an excuse to look like a scullery maid when flying coach. That's why we're here with a series highlighting the fashion forward travel accessories for those ready to splurge or those looking to snag an affordable steal.

While some travelers fall prey to the fanny-pack syndrome - a disease that manifests itself when practicality completely overwhelms sartorial judgment - others arrive in style with a bit of creative accessorizing.

The first accessory travelers need after arriving is a decent passport holder. The basic blue of the U.S. passport may be timeless, but let's kick it up a notch and get clutter-free at the same time. Avoid rummaging through a messy purse – and stares in the security or customs line – by holding IDs, credit cards, passports, and boarding passes, in one leatherbound travel holster.
